- Design Features & Requirements
- 3-Piece Bolted Body: The body consists of three parts (Body + 2 End Caps) bolted together. This allows for easy maintenance (seat/ball replacement) without removing the entire valve from the pipeline.
- Trunnion Mounted Ball: The ball is fixed and supported by upper and lower stems/bearings. This design is ideal for 20″ large bore applications, reducing operating torque and ensuring stable performance under high differential pressure.
- Double Piston Effect (DPE) Seats: Standard seats provide bidirectional sealing. The valve typically features automatic cavity pressure relief (the upstream seat acts as a piston, allowing overpressure in the body cavity to vent into the pipeline).
- Emergency Sealant Injection: The valve body is equipped with sealant injection fittings. In case of seat damage, sealant can be injected to temporarily restore sealing.
- Anti-Static Device: A spring-loaded plunger/ball ensures electrical continuity between the ball, stem, and body to prevent static spark buildup.
- Secondary Metal Seal: In the event the soft seat is destroyed by fire, the ball will contact the metal seat support, providing a metal-to-metal seal (Fire Safe feature).
Note:
- This data sheet is based on standard ASME/API specifications.
- The gearbox dimensions (height, handwheel size) and overall weight may vary depending on the manufacturer and gearbox model. Please refer to the final manufacturer’s drawing for certified dimensions.
